Behind every hero is a man.
1944: As the second World War rages on, the Jewish citizens of Nazi-occupied Hungary are rounded up for so-called "work camps." As the horror of the Holocaust grows, there seems to be little that one man can do to fight back. Yet Raoul WaIlenberg (Richard Chamberlain) is determined to try. Born into a famiIy of priviIege in neutral Sweden, WalIenberg finaIIy discovers a use for his restIess briIIiance. Working undercover as a diplomat, he devises schemes to turn Jewish residents into Swedish citizens with the stroke of a pen. As each new strategy is countered by the ruthless S. S., the stakes mount. Wallenberg risks aII to face the enemy, knowing that every move could mean countless Iives saved or lost. Based on a true story of human courage, this epic miniseries won four Emmy Awards and earned Richard ChamberIain a Golden Globe nomination for his inspiring performance. |
